Welcome into our beautiful vacation home via a grand entry with a custom made staircase made from local timbers and antique pieces.
The children's desire is to run to the right of the entry to the Arcade Room.

The Theatre Room allows the whole family to sit together, crank up the sound system and watch movies on DVD, sattellite television, Pay Per View or play with the XBOX or Play Station gaming systems. Another heaven for children.

Climbing the stairs to the second floor you will see spectacular views from every window. At the top of the stairs, you will enter the Great Room with a large fireplace and panoramic views of the Crested Butte Valley. This Great Room is comparable to what you would find in a 5 star hotel ski lodge.

Why The Owner chose Southwestern Colorado

On a vacation with my wife, we fell in love with the beauty of the mountains of Colorado. We bought a view lot and eventually built our custom dream home.

What makes this estate unique

There is no better family time then the peace and quiet the mountains offer that allow you to focus on outdoor activities, playing games together or enjoying a movie night after a day of skiing, rafting or hiking.

Walk out your front door and into the forest to explore the mountains of Crested Butte.

A secluded 52 acre 5000+ square foot mountain home where you never see your neighbors and have the biggest backyard / playground imaginable as the development backs up against the national forest.

Heaven in the Mountains

We have rented luxury homes in the Crested Butte area for 12 or 14 of the last twenty years. This home is by far the best of them all. Completely secluded on a different mountain just northwest of town (15 minute drive into Crested Butte, but only because of the four mile winding trip up the mountain on a perfectly flat, winding, but wide dirt road to the home), but looking directly at Crested Butte as the sun rises just southeast of Crested Butte. The incredibly large picture windows allow a panoramic view of the mountains in the entire area, the large deck is perfect for taking in the air and views, the house is equipped with everything you could want and the rooms are warm and comfortable. A large living area which opens onto the kitchen, dining area, seating area for the kitchen in one seamless open space perfect for hanging out. Just a fantastic getaway spot!!

Amazing house with incredible views

We rented this home for 5 nights-it is truly a gem and I would hightly recommend. Lots of space with a fun game room and movie room on the first floor. This home is in the Trappers Crossing area outside Crested Butte. It sits up high over the town, ( around 10,000 ft). Our famility enjoyed being 15 -20 minutes away from town--this is a very quiet and peaceful location. There is an excellent hike not far from the house..about a mile down the road, that takes you either to town ( about an hour down) or up to a beautiful mountain lake..( about an hour up.) We loved cooking in the well appointed kitchen--everything you need and more. This is a winner and you will not want to leave!

An Amazing House

Five couples stayed at this wonderful place and we all had enough room. The decor and appointments are all first class. The view from the great area is amazing. While it is a little ways out of town, we enjoyed the privacy and as we were outside the town of Crested Butte, were not hit with the 30% (?) lodging tax. Highly recommend this wonderful house!

Amazing experience!

We had an amazing weekend at this VRBO. We booked for a bachelorette party and every attendee was in awe over the view and craftsmanship of the home. We enjoyed the great room for board games and girl talk, the huge open kitchen for tapas and wine, and the amazing patio for morning coffee. It was about a 20 minute drive into town, but that didn't bother us. We hiked and mountain biked from town, but it seemed like there was plenty to do on the road to the house. The hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after a day full of activities. There isn't much wifi (especially when the house is full), so plan accordingly and you won't be disappointed! The family seems to take great pride and care in the home and it really shows when you stay there. We hope to be back and really appreciated the hospitality.

LUXURY MOUNTAIN HOME WITH BREATHTAKING VIEWS

If you have ever wondered what it’s like to live like a billionaire then just stay at this magnificent 5,250 square foot luxury mountain home on 52 wooded acres high above Crested Butte. It is located in an exclusive gated subdivision accessed by private road from Colorado Highway 12, part of the West Elk Scenic byway that leads over Kebler Pass to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. My wife and I stayed here one week in June. Of the dozens of properties all over the US we have stayed at, this is our new favorite because of the magnificent mountain views and luxury of the home. The snow covered mountain view from the relaxing hot tub is spectacular after a long day outdoors. The owner Jeff and his caretaker Eric were wonderful and accommodating in every way and the friendliest people you could hope to meet. Although completely private high up in the mountains at 10,000 feet, it is only a few minutes drive down to the town of Crested Butte. Walking distance from the property is the Green Lake hiking and mountain biking trail leading either up to this remote mountain lake in the Gunnison national forest, or down to the town of Crested Butte. We went hiking, jeeping, and mountain biking every day in the surrounding wilderness, and returned to the luxury and seclusion of this mountain home at night. Very highly recommended.

Wonderful Christmas week

Our Christmas week was a winter wonderland, the house is beautiful, we created a sled hill for the kids and adults which was great fun. BE AWARE Our warning is don't attempt the 8 mile trip up the hill without chains on your tires or a 4 wheel drive car. My sons car was stuck on the road thank goodness a snowcat was near and towed him out.
